Doodle Poll to restart ConnegP and Profiles sub-Groups

Dear DXWG participants

The time has come to restart working groups on the
Content-Negotiation-by-Profile (ConnegP) and PROF vocabularies.

This has been overdue for a time and the specification editors have been
busy, however some of that background work has borne fruit - the OGC will
publish a formal profile of DCAT: GeoDCAT - and potentially a set of
subsidiary profiles for specific spatio-temporal data set patterns.
Formalisation using PROF may require some discussion regarding best
practices and guidance, and the sub-working group can support any such
communities.

The OGC has also started publication of a suite of OpenAPI standards, with
functionality that can be mapped to the ConnegP "Query String Argument"
abstract requirement. External interest in the ConnegP functionality has
also grown, with queries from a number of organisations and working groups.
Restarting the working group provides an opportunity to review these
opportunities and determine the pathway forward.

In the meantime PROF has been used heavily in operationalising data
transformation and validation pipelines for managing knowledge graphs and
validating examples in specifications. At this stage no significant updates
to PROF are planned, but the working group can allow for discussion of
concrete issues, and maintenance of the associated "roles" vocabulary which
was always intended to be extensible.

I have created a Doodle Poll to find a time that can support the editors
and the interested parties from europe so far, however we can explore
multiple or alternate time slots if required for active (implementing)
participants in other time zones.
